“196th story”
First published: June.24.2021
A boy was playing on the shore. He made a hole in the sand and watched waves washing it away.
Then he made another hole again and again. When he was finished playing, and wanted to wear his sandals, he noticed that the waves had taken the sandals. The boy wrote on the sands: “The thief SEA.”
In some other place in the world, a fisherman had a great day and caught many fish. He wrote on the sands: “The generous SEA.”
A young man drowned in the sea and his mother wrote on the sand: “The murderer SEA.”
An old man found a pearl in a shell he found in the sea, and wrote on the sands: “The munificent SEA.”
The wind heard everything and told the sea: “What do you think about people’s comments?”
The sea washed all the writings away, and said: “Never care for other’s judgments if you want to be the sea.”
Never feel sorry
for the past,
the things that broke,
the things you couldn’t do,
the things you weren’t able to fix,
the chances you didn’t take,
the things you couldn’t keep,
the desired life you couldn’t build,
the sores you couldn’t heal,
the tears you couldn’t wipe,
the hunger you couldn’t feed.
Be like the sea, but never let others’ judgments change who you truly are.

By the way: Now, i have reopen my blog, but with selfhosting. Our unadopted German GDPR does not allow the usage of WP.com’s Jetpack(R), and also of undefined cookies.

jimi castles made of sand
wash into the sea eventually
took the shell
and heard the noise
of the beach
in a land locked state
🙏🌺❤️
Beautiful story,and I loved the last sentence: never let others judgments change who you are.
Love you.❤️

Beautiful story, as always, but the nit-picker in me has to point out that the third image isn’t a sea at all, but rather Inle Lake in Myanmar.

This just made my day!! Such a delightful, intense and amazing piece!! The murderer Sea, the Thief sea, etc.. The Sea nonchalantly erased them away. Just how beautiful! It has meanings as deep as the ocean itself! Never let your past own your present. Just what a powerful way to put it across! Love this dearly ❤️
Means a lot dear.💕

I love this, Laleh! I’m going to copy it and post it where I can see it as a daily reminder. As we age it’s easy to have regrets. It’s good to be reminded that we cannot change the past. Thank you.
